Lil Baby is expected to sell 80,000 copies, in his first week, with #HarderThanEver, exceeding previous expectations

Right now, Lil Baby is one of the hottest rappers in the streets. The young phenom is signed to Quality Control, so that says enough in itself. That label is home to Migos and manages Cardi B, so they have the star power.

Lil Baby, meanwhile, began heating up with “My Dawg,” which came out last summer. His record is huge and it opened the door for many other successful releases. Now, Lil Baby and Drake have linked up for two collaborations.

Last Friday, Lil Baby dropped Harder Than Ever, his debut album. It follows his mixtape series and has had a huge impact. Projections for the album initially had him at 74,000 first week copies, but an updated projection has him at 80,000 copies expected in his first week.
